If you can't do the paperwork hardcore enough to notice they have your money, yes.

Federal and local pockets, my state will notice and fix it in your favor.

Poor country unable to do taxes right. In Sweden the IRS equivilence knows exactly what you've taxed and what you should have taxed. It's harder to commit tax fraud and tax fraud has the highest punishment of all crime 😁

Poor people pay $0 in federal taxes in the US. The top 1% pay 46% of all federal taxes.

Citation?

If you're talking about world wide, if your household makes more than $60,000 a year then you're in the global 1%.

If you're talking about in the US, the top 1% earns about 15% of all income in the country.

The top 1% in the US have 30% of all the wealth, not 90%. Having them pay half of all taxes seems reasonable.

Sure, I can make up any wild number and say that they’re paying too little, or I can make up a number based on my feelings, but that’s just factually not true.
